But the 2016 Olympics in which three males with DSDs won all three medals in the women's 800m didn't peak the world about that scam.

It's been nearly two years now since the world learned that Semenya, Wambui and Niyonsaba are XY males with functioning testes, no ovaries, male levels of T & male-typical sensitivity to T. Yet the MSM, academia, human rights organizations and all the establishment still constantly call these guys "women with hyperandrogenism" and "intersex females" who've been unfairly treated and should be allowed to continue competing in female sports.

During the pandemic I was catching up on track and field competitions and I pegged Niyonsaba as a male just from watching him run (I already knew about Semenya). They're intersex MALES ffs.

I think that back then TiMs in women's sports were still rare and new. Now, at least in the US with all the state legislatures passing Save Women's Sports-type bills, the Olympics could tip the balance.

I think that the US is Peak Transing in record time and I think the sports bills, Rand Paul calling out Rachel Levine, Super Straight, the Reddit mess, and the GOP in general realizing it's a wedge issue will help us cross the finish line (pun intended) but let's hope before the Equality Act passes.
